  1. USA vs Faulkner State/BSN vs ADN?????

    cpl_dvldog replied to Mary Ann Y.'s topic in Alabama Nursing

    If you will have your ADN in 5 semesters or your BSN in 5 semesters. you need to get your BSN. It will give you a leg up on getting hired. It will also come in handy when you get older and would...

  2. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Often times a person's expression of uniqueness make them not so unique afterall. To rebel against society and show they are an individual often times people get tatts, get piercings, wear Goth...

  3. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I really hate that. School is frustrating enough and too expensive for the students to have to make sure the staff is doing their jobs. It really bugs me when someone that has never attended college...

  4. BSN vs. RN Salary

    cpl_dvldog replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Will having a BA in theater coupled with an ADN be considered a BSN? Nope. There are classes taken in a BSN program that you will not take in an ADN program, such as Pathophysiology of Professional...

  5. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I agree nursing school is NO JOKE. Considering I already have a BA degree I can compare how this school is run compared to the other Jr. College I attended before moving on the U of A. Bevill was my...

  6. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    It is very competative here also. Between paying out of state tuition and paying for a place to live it may not cost anymore to go to U of Memphis than to a Community College

  7. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm not sure how the TEAS test factors in, but I doubt making a 58 will get you into the program since I have have talked to several people in the class behind mine that scored in the mid-90's. For...

  8. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    You're welcome. I would suggest looking into a BSN program. It is still only 5 semesters of nursing school. The typical ADN takes 6 or more semesters to complete, with the pre-reqs. To finish pre-reqs...

  9. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    They are limited in how much financial aid money they can get from everyone because several years ago they lost their ability to offer Fed. Subsidized loans. They got in trouble and the Feds told them...

  10. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Just graduated from Bevill last week. Now I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can pass the NCLEX. Would hate to think all my hard work and frustration was for nothing. Already working under a temp...

  11. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I would suggest you apply to several nursing programs. Bevill is not telling their prospective students the State Board of Nursing has them listed as a Deficiant RN Program due to their below average...

  12. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You will be judged on your merits after someone gets to know you, until then all anyone has is a first impression. You already know this I am certain. Everyone is judged on first impressions whether...

  13. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Not taking sides on this because I have several tattoos. I will say if your feathers get ruffled by what Trenia said you may have a major problem when patients tell you to your face they don't want...

  14. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    This thread has gone completely off track. The original question was, in a nutshell, will having visable tatts affect the way I am perceived in the workplace. I've never seen a post asking will my...

  15. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    No Dude was not talking about you. Was talking about Hamcarver. His first post says he starts nursing school May

  16. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would not worry about it too much. The guy that is most upset about the tatt posts has not even started nursing classes yet. When he starts hospital clinicals then he will find out if they are a...

  17. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I find it humorous that people go to extremes to be unique then they are expected to be viewed the same as everyone else. Isn't that the purpose of expressing your uniqueness, to show you are unique,...

  18. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Although I agree with your post in theory, we live in reality. Almost everyone makes snap judgements on first impressions. Having multiple visable tattoos is still considered outside the realm of the...

  19. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The only way a Bill of Rights amendment would do any good is if the patient's right to refuse treatment by a health care provider was also removed. I don't know of many that would agree that would be...

  20. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Tatts and piercings are self expression? They show uniqueness? Not hardly. When people see a guy with several tatts usually they think the guy is military or rides a bike. What is unique about that? A...

  21. BSN vs. RN Salary

    cpl_dvldog replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    As an entry level RN in most hospitals, both ADN and BSN, typically start out the same. It is after working a few years is where having the higher degree will pay off. To move up in your career, which...

  22. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Relax. Several people have told me the test is no problem. If you stress over tests you will be your own worst enemy. Especially in nursing school. Those tests are no joke. Most multiple choice tests...

  23. Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

    cpl_dvldog replied to cpl_dvldog's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Yes go to Jeff St. If you start this summer you will graduate in Dec. of 2012. If you start Bevill this fall you will not graduate until May 2013, 5 months

  24. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    cpl_dvldog replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The best thing I have seen used to cover visable tatts are TED hose. Just wear them on your

  25. OK we get it STUD, you're straight

    cpl_dvldog replied to bigrigcowboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The only people I know of that go to work to talk about other people are comedians and talk show hosts. If a black guy walks by with a Rick James jerry curl hair-do somebody on my floor will make a...
